BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Verkkokauppa.com Oyj's business operations are estimated to develop positively within a medium term time frame. The management believes that the company will succeed in further growing its market share in its operating markets. Proceeds received from the share issue have improved the company's equity ratio and enable it to continue growth projects in accordance with the company's strategy. Nevertheless, the business outlook includes uncertainties, especially due to the macroeconomic development. The Finnish Ministry of Finance estimated on 28 September 2015 that the Finnish GDP will grow by 0.2% during 2015. According to the market research company GfK, the consumer electronics market has decreased by 1.0% in Finland in January-August 2015.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
The company maintains its previous guidance: Revenue and operating profit excluding non-recurring items are expected to grow in 2015 when compared to the previous year.
CEO SAMULI SEPPÄLÄ'S REVIEW
Verkkokauppa.com's sales and profitability continued to improve as retail continues going online. Sales grew by 22% - well above the 10% medium term target. Inventory grew significantly less than net sales. Good sales in the third quarter were boosted by market share gains in almost all categories, both old and new, but also by continuous good wholesale trade and B2B sales development - all driven by Verkkokauppa.com's trusted online concept.
EBITDA growth excluding non-recurring items was 70%. EBITDA was 3.9% of revenue in the third quarter. The company expects to improve its EBITDA margin in the medium term, especially by increasing the share of the Apuraha consumer financing service and by growing the share of higher margin categories in the sales mix. The company has also signed a contract on a revolving credit facility of 15 million euros.
While retail is going online, Statistics Finland has reported sales decreases in the Finnish retail sector (-2.4% in August). Market research company GfK reported that consumer electronics sales decreased by 1.2% in August. The Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) recent study estimated that the share of online sales in the total retail sales in Finland was 5% in 2014, but the share of online sales is expected to increase to some 8% by 2018. In the current tough retail market environment, Verkkokauppa.com sees new growth opportunities in leasing additional low-cost retail and logistics premises.
Verkkokauppa.com launched its own Apuraha consumer financing service in September. Almost immediately, Apuraha became the most popular installment payment method at Verkkokauppa.com. Apuraha provides customers with a new flexible payment alternative, and company with better profitability than any other payment method. The company will continue using its resources to achieve the goal of some one-fifth of customers using the installment payment method. Consumer financing has developed positively during and after the summer.
Besides developing Apuraha, the company is currently focusing on critically important fourth quarter's sales, as well as on improvements in logistics, the mobile website, and introducing a new competitor price tracking tool to ensure customer promise of probably always lower prices to customers. In 2016, the company will continue the development and exploration of its C2C marketplace.
Verkkokauppa.com's revenue will continue to grow during 2015 and in the medium term, even though the general situation and demand in the retail business will remain very weak in Finland. BCG has identified Verkkokauppa.com as one of Top 3 online shopping growth companies in Finland, along with two C2C marketplaces.

CALCULATION PRINCIPLES FOR THE COMPANY'S KEY RATIOS
1) Fixed costs = Personnel expenses + other operating expenses
2) Fixed costs, % = (Personnel expenses + other operating expenses) / Revenue x 100
3) Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of goods and services
4) Gross margin, % = (Revenue - Cost of goods and services) / Revenue x 100
5) EBITDA = Operating profit before depreciation
6) EBITDA, % = Operating profit before depreciation / Revenue x 100
7) Operating margin, % = Operating result / Revenue x 100
8) Operating margin excluding non-recurring items, % = Operating result excluding non-recurring items / Revenue x 100
9) Equity ratio = (Equity + depreciation difference x (1 - tax rate)) / (Total sum of the balance sheet - advances received) x 100
10) Return on capital employed (ROCE), rolling 12 months, % = (Net profit + financial expenses + taxes) / (Average equity + interest-bearing debt) x 100
11) Net gearing, % = (Interest-bearing debt - cash and cash equivalents - interest-bearing receivables) / Equity x 100
12) Earnings per share = Profit for the financial period / Monthly average number of shares adjusted by share issues
13) Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items = Profit for the financial period excluding non-recurring items / Monthly average number of shares adjusted by share issues
14) Earnings per share (diluted) = Profit for the financial period / Monthly average number of shares adjusted by share issues + number of shares according to subscription rights
15) Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items (diluted) = Profit for the financial period excluding non-recurring items / Monthly average number of shares adjusted by share issues + number of shares according to subscription rights
16) Average number of shares at end of the period revised by share split = Monthly average number of shares at the end of the period revised by share split
17) Number of employees at the end of the period = Average number of employees on the last week of the period
